So when we were 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.639 writing classroom scenes and like what it's like to be 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.040 bullied or made fun of or anything, I'm like always 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.120 I have them on my mind, you know, because like 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.160 they're experiencing that like in real time right now, which 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.040 is it's wild to see, cause like no kid is 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.640 immune to like the occasional being made fun of or 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:48.080 right embarrassing moment or even a moment that just didn't 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.080 go as plans.

But you know, I grew 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.280 up doing man serious plays. Like in high school, we 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.360 wrote our own plays and they were about like South 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.720 Africa and apart tid and like teen age and like 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.000 all this other like super yeah in high school, bro, 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.240 you know what I mean. So I grew up like 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.760 doing Nickelodeon and stuff like that. And then my hometown 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.920 at the same time was real just College Park, you 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.080 know what I'm saying. It's like real like issues going on, 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.280 like teenagers. It's not Nickelodeon in Orlando, you know what 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:58.320 I'm saying. So like that dynamic, I don't know. I've 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:03.360 always just had like myself to kind of like deal 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.880 with these like am I gonna be an actor? Am 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.480 I gonna be a comedian kind of thing, you know 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.640 what I'm saying, And then the common denominators like well, 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.640 I'm just me at the end of the day always, 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.680 you know what I'm saying, So I like, yeah, I 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.000 don't necessarily do stand up like that, so like I 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.560 don't overly consider myself to be a comedian, you know 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.680 what I'm saying, Like, I'm just which gives me, I think, 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.800 the calm to just be like chill, you know what 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.480 I'm saying. I can we can go there, we can 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.480 get funny. We can like if we pounce on something 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:34.360 that's making us die laughing, we'll you know, dissect that 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.000 thing for an hour, you know what I'm saying, and 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.840 just continue that. And then at the same time, if 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.160 you know, a serious moment arizes, then I can be 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.320 intelligent enough to have a conversation that's intelligent or whatever, 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.080 and that's smart or whatever, and further along conversations and 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.880 all that kind of stuff. So I like being versatile 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.159 like that, Like a lot of stand ups are hyper 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.160 focused on stand up, you know what I'm saying, like 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.839 cause you just not yeah, or like being the guy 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.120 that like has to like out of everybody, you know 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:02.960 what I mean, and if they're not getting that energy 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.400 that they check out kind of shit, you know what 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:06.760 I mean. I never wanted to be that person. 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:08.560 I'm not gonna lie I would. 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.800 There are very few things I wouldn't do.

It was just 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:28.680 like a lot of rehearsal time. Then I would have 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:30.320 to leave and go shoot some shit or whatever and 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.960 they would perform when I was gone. So like the 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.360 one play we wrote was called Sweto Soweto A Township 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.240 is Calling, which is like about a like a township 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.240 and like the kids living there kind of based off 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:46.520 of Saraphina.

He hit the i'm, i'm. 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:35.640 It's being a stand up. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.200 You say, you don't, you don't put yourself in any 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.960 type of box, but you did have a Las Vegas residency. 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.720 Here, these are showcases, OK. 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.400 So it's a different So it's a different show every 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:47.800 time out. 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.000 Yeah, And there was other comics that were just giving 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:56.120 platform to other comics, so like I would host maybe 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.560 the beginning of the run, and then they would run 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.400 it for weeks and weeks and weeks and now wouldn't 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.439 necessarily be there. So it's more so just using my 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.560 voice as a give back or you know, a spring board. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.400 But yeah, we've been doing that for years. When my 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.600 partner Sharia, and she's prolific at finding talent, she's been 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.840 in the game for forever. Her mentor was Mary Lindsey 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.800 who discovered Steve Harvey and like pretty much anybody out 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.880 of Chicago basically or out of the Midwest kind of thing. 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.640 And that's what she does. That's one of her passions, 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.439 you know, and just they still rolling to this day. 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.319 You know, I had to pull back because of this 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:34.200 very situation where people think that these are my shows, 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:35.840 you know what I'm saying, because they see my name 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.520 in my face, you know what I mean. They don't 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.880 read the whole it's Keenan Presents. They don't even read 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:45.760 the presents. Party wasn't even presenting it better be himself. 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.040 A lot of people I would hear that kind of 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.880 feedback regardless of if they enjoyed the shows. What they 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:54.839 usually do, you know what I mean, Like she picks 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.880 you know, great lineups, and like it's like, yes, they 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.800 might be green, but like there's usually some really funny 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:02.959 people along the way, and like at the end of 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.520 the show, people like they always enjoyed themselves, you know 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.719 what I'm saying. Look, they saw at the same time, 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.000 like I don't do stand up, you know what I mean. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.760 It was always one of those things that's like it's 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:15.520 kind of wrecking my day, the fact that I gotta 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.240 go out there, and like even if I gotta do 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:18.760 three minutes, you know what I mean, It's just on 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.560 my mind all day long, you know what I'm saying 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.079 until it's done, and then I'm like what was I 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.520 even tripping about? But like I can't flip the coin 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.040 back and be like all right, I'm gonna start the 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.520 day without that stuff on my mind. It's just every 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.439 time I've had to do a stand up thing, like 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.000 that's what's on my mind. More so probably because I 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.760 don't practice it that often. It's not so second nature. 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.760 So I just like it's like a nervous production cause 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.600 I don't get that from like SML at all, Like like. 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.800 That's to me, that's crazy because this is like, yo, 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:46.960 that's live TV. 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.400 And that's just like a cake walk in my opinion, 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:50.880 you know what I'm saying. But like that's because I 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.360 do it right. I have been doing it for so 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:54.320 long al right, and. 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.839 Wasn't wasn't all that also in front of a live 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.120 audience and keenan Kell was also in front of it, 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.880 like you liter like you you certified for real? 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.240 Like so yeah that's my lane, Yeah stand up. 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.360 Like I'm at the very beginning, I might as well be, 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.079 you know, going to open mic nights every single time 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.480 I get up there, even though I've done hours, like 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.640 I've done an hour at colleges for years. But it's 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.920 more so like just me telling my story as opposed 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.199 to like joke formations or anything like that. Like I'm 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.360 not John Mulaney, you know what I'm saying, Like I'm 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:31.560 I'm Keenanes and yeah, yeah, and that's it's cool, especially 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:32.959 if like I used to do a Q and A, 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.240 which I thought was exciting, but then I started noticing 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:40.040 more fuckers be leaving. It feels unprepared, you know what 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:46.360 I'm saying. You show for you, but anytime, like I've 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.280 done it all the way out, then that's that's a show, 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.000 you know what i mean. It feels like you know, official, 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.480 But yeah, no, I would. I would. I've always respected 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.280 stand up, you know what I mean.
